| Abstract | Whether electromagnetic precursors to earthquakes (EQs) exist is an important question not only for EQ prediction but also for understanding the physical processes of EQ generation. Slow transient geoelectric potential changes have been observed before several recent EQs in Japan. In most cases, they appeared 1-19 days before the EQs, and their duration and intensity were several minutes to 1 h and 1-2 mV/100 m. The changes appeared before five of all six EQs with magnitude >/= 5 that occurred within 20 km of our stations during the observation period. Changes were also detected at greater epicentral distances (up to 75 km) before two other EQs, including one EQ of magnitude 4.7, which was preceded by a signal simultaneously recorded at three widely separated stations. These geoelectric potential changes have been distinguished through the following criteria from a multitude of other changes, which were noise of various origins. (i) The selected changes were proportional in amplitude to the length of the recording station's short ( approximately 100 m) dipoles and were simultaneously detected also on long (1-10 km) dipoles when the latter were in operation. (ii) No such changes occurred during the observation period that were not followed by EQs. Although the EQ precursory nature of these geoelectric potential changes is admittedly unproven, it seems that the present results warrant continued serious research into the occurrence, generation, and transmission of these signals and their possible causal relationship to EQs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
